Doctor Who: The Doctor's Similarities To God

[The Joker]

I've been a Doctor Who fan for years and I've noticed some similarities between The Doctor and God. He has many faces and personalities, he seems to live forever, he is both very kind and very tough, and he gives everyone a chance to change.

I think the one moment that I got to truely see this was these last moments in an episode from years ago:

OH yes!!! But there was also that [part in Voyage of the Damned when the hosts (angels) grab his arms and he flies with them. There were a lot of negative comments on that but sometimes in the show you really wonder who the Doctor actually is

 

[The Joker]

Exactly! And there's references all throughout the show, David Tennant

Spoiler

sacrefices himself to save a human

and more.

True and so did Davidson for his companion in his final episode. But there are more things. He knows all what is going to happen. he sees it everyday. BUT there is more.
In Fires of Pompeii the Doctor has to make a choice. Or Pompeii or the whole Earth. This was a choice only he could make and no other living being could.

 

[The Joker]

Oh yes! And now I've found two sites that talk about it too:

The first article was so great! Yeah why not? I mean look at him how he acted against the Master. The Master knew he was going to say he would forgive him and he couldn't stand that. The Doctor held him in his arms when the Master refused to regenerate. And then there was also the Satan's pit in which he met the Devil. He was not afraid and defeated him. How much more symbols do you need?

You should!!! You should try it! It is a brilliant show

Haven't read the articles, but I've always been under the impression that Doctor Who was an atheist show that was openly hostile to any religious thought. If it isn't, I might enjoy it. I haven't really tried watching it.

I'm not that familiar with Doctor Who, but I'm pretty sure the doctor doesn't advocate genocide.

he pretty much killed his entire race (I think) and put them in a timelock, and he's killed an entire darlek race too.

 

[Vanessa28]

He had to kill his entire race. He was left no other option. In season 2 he even met the Devil. And in The Planet of the Ood he told Donna about this. Whether or not the Doctor is an Atheist never has been said. At least not in the episodes I have watched so far. Hanyou you really should give it a try. It is a pretty good show and there are many hints that makes you wonder if the Doctor is actually God
